Finger Lakes Gold

Lively Run Goat Dairy

Finger Lakes Gold
Regular price $19.00 Sale

A firm, sweet goat’s milk gouda from one of our favorite New York State dairies. Lively Run Goat Dairy has been in operation since 1983, and in that time the cheesemaking has been passed down from Suzanne Messmer to her son Pete. Pete is an innovator, and has been adding to Lively Run’s lineup of delicious goat’s milk cheeses. Finger lakes Gold is akin to the great goat’s milk goudas of the world (Midnight Moon, Black Betty, etc) and packs a unique and distinctive punch! The younger wheels have a firm creamy paste that is bright and nutty, and milky. Pairing Notes: malty ales, IPA’s, Belgian-style beers, lagers, bourbon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay

Recent Awards: ACS 2023, 2nd Place American originals made from goat's milk

We love love LOVE Saxelby cheese.
They are wonderfully helpful and i have sampled some really amazing treats from them. Strawberry rhubarb preserves Cabot cheddar and animal.farm butter come to mind. Yummy! They package the products very well too so your goodies always arrive in perfect condition.

I love this cheese. It is beautiful and right in the sweet spot between too sharp and too mild.
